I would like to know if they realize that if THEIR Creation theory is taught, then all religion's creation theories must be taught with as much validity shown as for theirs. What a long science class that would be. But of course, they think theirs is the only one worthy, so they only want theirs taught. Religious beliefs belong in church and the home, not in a public school.

Science has made errors in the past, the "Flat Earth theory" being one of them. But when it is proven false on multiple accounts, i think this is a pretty rhetorical question. How about you ask about something that we do not know yet.
P.S. lumping Creationists solely with this theory is wrong.

Actually I would prefer that neither Creation nor Evolution be taught in class since either one or the other would be ridiculed by the teacher depending on what their philosophical worldview is. Both positions are dependent on philosophical presuppostion that can't be proven in a process science kind of a way. They both fall under the catagory of "ongoing" science and are highly subjective. If you want to teach real science focus on things that are observable and testable.

Sure...why not. Then all can see how ridiculous the Flat Earth theory was.

don't forget Gravity. That's "only" a theory, too.
BTW, dewcoons, it was science that proved the world round back in ancient Greece (before Christianity), and possibly ancient Egypt before that.
The flat-earth perspective was maintained by theocrats, not scientists.

What makes you think the notion of God creating the world is the same as the earth being flat? They're not, and though I'm a creationist, I do know the world is round.

No. As the Bible states in several places that the earth is round, why would we want the mistaken theory that science held several thousand years that the earth was flat to be taught?
Teach what the Bible says - that the earth is round and is hung aomung the stars - and then it will be correct.
